Frequently Asked Questions

  • Pelvic floor physical therapy is a “non-surgical approach to rehabilitation of dysfunctions in the pelvis that contribute to bowel, bladder, sexual health, and pain complaints. Approaches may include behavioral strategies, manual therapies, modalities, therapeutic exercise, education, and functional re-training.” (Herman & Wallace)

  • A client should expect a holistic form of care with one on one treatment. We will explore the “why” behind your symptoms and work on a plan of care together to reach your goals. You should feel educated, encouraged, and informed about your care and what a session consists of. You should expect to feel heard, respected, and comfortable throughout the whole process. For clients with pelvic health concerns an evaluation and follow-up sessions may consist of an external and/or internal examination in addition to a functional movement assessment. At all times, the client should feel in control of her care, and with the therapist feel guided and fully informed about the process. As the client, you can decline or move forward with any aspect of an assessment and feel free to ask questions along the way. If you would like a chaperone present, please provide prior notice to the therapist.
